Abstract

A composition of taxol and polyethoxylated castor oil is pH balanced to have a pH less than 8.1 to improve stability. This composition can include an acid, preferably citric acid, to adjust the pH value.
The invention includes a method of formulating a taxol solution for injection by mixing an acid with a carrier material, such as castor oil, to form a carrier solution after which taxol is mixed with the carrier solution to form the taxol solution at a pH of less than 8.1. The method may include the step of slurrying the taxol in alcohol before mixing with the carrier solution.

Description

INJECTABLE COMPOSITION
This invention relates to a solution of taxol having improved stability.
This application is a division of copending Canadian Patent Application No. 2,149,150 filed November 18, 1993.
Taxol is a compound extracted from the bark of a western yew, Taxus brevifolia and known for its antineoplastic activity. It is described for example in The Merck Index, Eleventh Edition 1989, monograph 9049. "TAXOL" is a registered trade-mark for the substance paclitaxel.
In 1977, taxol was chosen for development as an antineoplastic agent because of its unique mechanism of action and good cytotoxic activity against IP implanted D16 melanoma and the human X-1 mammary tumor xenograft.
Taxol is believed to function as a mitotic spindle poison and as a potent inhibitor of cell replication in vitro. Other mitotic spindle points (colchicine and podophyllotoxin) inhibit microtubule assembly. Taxol employs a different mechanism of action since it appears to shift the equilibrium of polymerization/depolymerization toward polymer assembly and to stabilize microtubules against depolymerization under conditions which would cause rapid disaggregation of microtubules. The interference with the polymerization/depolymerization cycle in cells appears to interfere with both the replication and migration of cells.
After extensive preclinical screening in mouse tumor models, taxol entered clinical trials in 1983.
Over the past few years, taxol has demonstrated good response rates in treating both ovarian and breast cancer patients who were not benefiting from vinca alkaloid or cisplatin therapy. It has also shown encouraging results in patients with other types of cancer including lung, melanoma, lymphoma, head and neck.
5 For further information, reference may be made to the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Clinical Brochure for Taxol, revised July 1991, and papers presented at the Second National Cancer Institute Workshop on Taxol and Taxus held in Alexandria, Virginia USA on September 23-24, 1992.
It is a disadvantage of a known formulation that the taxol therein degrades, with the result that the shelf life of the formulation is unsatisfactory, and there is therefore a need for a taxol solution of improved stability.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention claimed in the parent application, there is provided an improvement in a pharmaceutical formulation adapted for use in treating cancer comprising taxol and polyethoxylated castor oil, the improvement comprising an acidifying agent added to the pharmaceutical formulation in a proportion such that the composition has a resulting pH less than or equal to 7Ø
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an article of manufacture comprising a sealable container and a pharmaceutical formulation contained therein, the pharmaceutical formulation comprising taxol; a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and an acid in sufficient amount to improve the stability of the taxol such that at least 95% of the taxol potency is retained when the composition is stored at 40°C for seven days; and wherein said pharmaceutical formulation has been sealed in said container for at least seven days.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition of matter produced by the process of (a) obtaining a sealable container; (b) obtaining a pharmaceutical formulation comprising taxol, a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, and an acid in sufficient amount to improve the stability of the taxol such that at least 95% of the taxol potency is retained when the composition is stored at 40°C for seven days; (c) placing said pharmaceutical formulation in said sealable container;
(d) sealing said sealable container; and (e) storing said pharmaceutical formulation in said sealed container for at least seven days.
In accordance with an additional aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition of matter comprising a sealable container and a pharmaceutical formulation contained therein, said pharmaceutical formulation comprising taxol; a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier; and an acid, said formulation being such that at least 95% of the taxol potency is retained when said formulation is stored at 40°C for seven days; and wherein said pharmaceutical formulation has been sealed in said container for at least seven days.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition of matter produced by the process of (a) obtaining a sealable container; (b) obtaining a pharmaceutical formulation comprising taxol, a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, and an acid, said formulation being such that at least 95% of the taxol potency is retained when said formulation is stored at 40°C for seven days; (c) placing said pharmaceutical formulation in said sealable container; (d) sealing said sealable container; and (e) storing said pharmaceutical formulation in said sealed container for at least seven days.
Accordingly, in a general aspect the invention provides a solution containing taxol, cremophor ELTM
and ethanol, characterized in that the pH of the solution has been adjusted into the range 1 to 8 by addition of an acid. Acids in the form of powders, for example citric acid, are preferred over those which contain water, for example sulfuric acid . The most preferred acid for use in accordance with the present invention is citric acid but a wide range of acids may be used including the following:

Citric acid - monohydrous Citric acid - anhydrous Citric acid - hydrous Acetic acid Formic acid Ascorbic acid Aspartic acid Benzene sulphonic acid Benzoic acid Hydrochloric acid Sulphuric acid Phosphoric acid Nitric acid Tartaric acid Diatrizoic acid Glutamic acid Lactic acid Malefic acid Succinic acid 5 Due to its limited solubility in water, Taxol is usually prepared and administered in a vehicle containing cremophor ELTM (a polyethoxylated castor oil which acts as a solubilizer) and ethanol. A
commercially available solution supplied by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) is formulated with these components and has a pH of 9.1.
As indicated above, the invention essentially teaches addition of an acid to a taxol formulation to adjust its pH into the range 1 to 8, preferably 5 to 7.
In a preferred procedure adopted by the applicant, which it will be clearly understood is non-limiting, the following steps were carried out:
Mixina Instructions Citric acid was dissolved in absolute alcohol, using a ratio of 8 mls of absolute alcohol to 1 gram of citric acid, and the solution was stirred for fifteen (15) minutes.

Cremophor EL was weighted out into the main mixing vessel.

Solution 1 was added to solution 2, and the container used for solution 2 was washed with a minimum quantity of absolute alcohol to ensure complete transfer of the citric acid. Solution 3 was mixed and bubbled with nitrogen for at least 15 minutes. The taxol was weighed out and slurried using absolute alcohol, using a ratio of 8 ml of absolute alcohol to 1 gm of taxol. The slurried taxol was added to solution 3 and the slurrying vessel was washed with a minimum quantity of absolute alcohol. Solution 3 was adjusted 5 to 75% of required volume using absolute alcohol, and thoroughly stirred for at least 45 minutes until completely dissolved. Once completely dissolved, the volume was checked and made up as necessary with absolute alcohol and the final solution stirred for 5 minutes.
Exam~l a 1 A solution was prepared with the following formulation:
Formulation: (Sample 1) Cremophor EL 0.5 mL
Citric Acid (Anhydrous) 2.0 mg Taxol 6.0 mg Absolute Alcohol to 1.0 mL
The pH of this solution was determined as 6.1.
The stability of this sample was compared with a sample prepared by the formulation stated in the NCI
Taxol Clinical brochure (as follows) which had a pH of 9.1. (Sample 2) Sample 2 per mL
Taxol 6 mg Cremophor EL 0.5 mL
Absolute Alcohol to 1 mL
The solutions were filled into clear type 1 glass 5 mL vials and sealed with rubber bungs.
The solutions were stored at 40°C for 7 (seven) days and the stability results are shown in Table 1.
Sample 1 Sample 2 pH 6.2 9.0 Potency 96.6 86.7 Major individual 0.3% 5.1% impurity Total impurities 2.0% 12.2%
Clearly Sample 1 showed significantly increased stability over Sample 2.
Example 2 A solution was prepared with the following formulation:
Formulation: (Sample 3) Cremophor EL 0.5 mL
Taxol 6.0 mg Absolute Ethanol to 1 mL
pH adjusted to 6.6 with 1.OM Acetic Acid.
The solution was filled into clear type I glass 5 mL vials and sealed with rubber bungs.
The solution was stored at 40°C for 7 days.
The stability results obtained are compared to those seen with Sample 2.
Sample 3 Sample 2 pH 6.7 9.0 Potency 97.5 86.7 Major individual 0.3% 5.1% impurity Total impurities 2.3% 12.2%
Again the significantly superior stability of the formulation according to the invention (Sample 3) is evident.
It will be clearly understood that the invention in its general aspects is not limited to the specific details referred to hereinabove.
